Sugar content is a disadvantage of milk tea. The sugar content of milk tea with normal sweetness is between 1 1~62g per cup, with an average sugar content of 34g per cup, which exceeds the recommended value of 25g in the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (20 16). The most common thing is that people who love to drink milk tea tend to get fat. Milk tea often uses sugar to adjust the taste. Excessive sugar intake will increase the risk of dental caries and overweight and obesity.
The fat content in milk tea is also very high, especially the average fat content of milk tea is 6.3g/ 100mL, and the highest cup can reach 4 1g fat. For healthy adults with energy intake of 2000kcal/d, it is suggested that the fat intake should not exceed 66 grams a day, and the fat content of a cup of milk tea is close to 2/3 of the recommended amount.
If you drink a lot of milk tea for more than 3 months in a row, not only your blood lipid may increase, but also your fat will accumulate in your abdomen, which is easy to get fat. The heat in such a cup of milk tea needs to be circulated for 3 hours to be consumed.
Extended data:
The trans fatty acid content in some milk teas also exceeded the standard. It is suggested that the daily intake of trans fatty acids should not exceed 2g, and the minimum content in milk tea tested should be 3.7g and the maximum content should be 6.2g Excessive intake of trans fatty acids may increase low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, increase the risk of arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease, and may also affect the growth and development of children and the health of nervous system.
In short, milk tea is high in sugar, fat, caffeine and calories. Song Xin reminded people to drink milk tea in moderation, especially pregnant women, children, patients with hypertension and heart disease.
